CONFLICT IN SUDAN'S DARFUR REGION The trigger for the conflict in 1983 was the central government's attempt to enforce a system of law in an area of the country that was not Islamic. In other words, you could say that religion was part of the problem. [Adapted from Shuters: Religion Studies, Grade 12, p. 202] FAULT LINE DIVIDES SUDAN If the north-south conflict is not checked it may escalate into a full scale war in which there would be no winners, writes Terence McNamee. By dividing Sudan along a north-south 'fault line' it was hoped that many of the conflicts that had historically pitted Northerners against Southerners would stop. The south's economy was also expected to finally emerge from the decline of recent years. Sudan and South Sudan are locked in a number of increasingly bitter clashes over oil, security and borders that threaten to ignite a full-blown war. Last week Juba (capital of South Sudan) accused Khartoum of bombing its territories in Bahr el Gazal, Unity and Upper Nile states. Khartoum accuses Juba of destroying the oil fields at Heglig in Sudan's southern Kordofan state, which was seized by the South Sudanese army in April. Conflicts between different ethnic groups over access to water resources and grazing lands for cattle have occurred for centuries, but in the second half of 2011 alone, clashes in South Sudan s Jonglei state left thousands dead. In one incident 600 ethnic Lou Nuer were massacred by fighters from the rival Murle community. [Adapted from The Times, 15 May 2012] 4.1 Until recently it had been argued that the conflict in Sudan was a religious war. Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.

(4) 4.5 For each of the following religions, briefly discuss the teachings that promote human rights: QUESTION Buddhism (4) Christianity (4) Islam (4) African Traditional Religion (4) Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow. In several recent studies of religious coverage in the media, it was found that coverage had increased significantly over the last decade. However, the coverage was very negative and focused mainly on the following: The political elements of religious ideas and institutions. This aspect received the most coverage. Other issues like struggles of women and minorities Issues involving sexual morality [Adapted from Religion Studies, Steyn et al. p ] 5.1 Do you think the media gives fair coverage to religious issues? (2) 5.2 Give reasons for your answer to QUESTION 5.1. Include ONE example to support your answer. (10) 5.3 Why, do you think, has media coverage of religious issues increased sharply in recent years?
